HEY! Anyone still reading? No? Well then y'all gonna miss this gem right here:

NEW YORK (AP) - R. Kelly has written a new song, "Rise Up," about healing in the aftermath of the April 16 shootings at Virginia Tech. A gunman killed 32 people and himself on the university's campus in Blacksburg, Va.

"Rise Up" will be available digitally May 15, and 100 percent of the net proceeds from its sale will go to the Hokie Spirit Memorial Fund, said Jive Records, Kelly's record label.

Kelly, 40, wrote the inspirational ballad after watching the events unfold on television while he was on tour, Jive said.

The lyrics include the lines: "Rise up, when you feel you can't go on, rise up, and all of your hope is gone, rise up, when you're weak and you can't be strong."

The Hokie Spirit Memorial Fund was created to provide assistance to the victims of the families, as well as grief counseling and other needs for those affected by the shootings.

Um. Isn't this the guy who peed on an underage girl?

And, for the record, a f*cking second-grader could've written these lyrics.

They remind me of the first love song I ever penned in college:

You are my fire.
My only desire
You are my burning flame.
You aren't the only name.

All together now: "ECH."

Um. I know I'm new to this whole music thing and all, and I mean no disrespect to the wonderful artists who have posted comments here, but I think my good friend Dave and I are on to something with our new hit song Butterfly Tattoo:

Hair twistin' chain smokin'
Butterfly Tattoo
Each time she leans on me
I look around for you.

Heartbreaking, right? Just sayin'.

I speak slow
I carry a fat stick
Get your kneepads
and reapply your chapstick

Word to YOUR motha.

OMS? Jon? Do you guys have too much time on your hands or something?

We're still out here reading... can you try to remember that when you're having extended conversations with your split personalities?

HA. Just kidding. Loving every second of it. Butterfly Tattoo sounds like it might be a great song. When do your adoring fans get to hear a recording?
